Topic: Font managers reviews and opinions (Read 21738 times)

I'm still a bit gun shy regarding the Themida anti-piracy software that gets installed with it. Most of the security sites are still wrestling with that; is it reasonable? Or does it provide too large a security risk? I don’t know but it does bother me knowing it's there.

"it still only previews one font at a time." - this is untrue as it will preview one font, all fonts or the font a user selects.

true -they missed that- it was easy enough to find too. (just installed it on win7 - works fine)the second paragraph is not so positive but the first

CFontPro from Veign will be the top choice for many. It has a wide range of views including a glyph viewer and character zoom to pixel level. It provides more font information than any of the font managers here.

Does sound good. Wish I had the time to push updates to the application. It has always been a very popular app and I tried finding it a home but nobody wanted to take over the code so now it just sits dormant.

Font TagsOver the years numerous customers have asked us to provide better support for searching and categorizing their font library. Previous versions of MainType already came with several ways to group and categorize font collections, but the new font tagging functionality adds another dimension to managing your font library. It allows you to provide meaningful tags to your fonts, so you can easily find and use the right fonts for every occasion.

SynchronizationWith font folder synchronization it is a breeze to use shared fonts on a network drive, so a team can work with exactly the same group of fonts as part of their font collection. Of course it's also possible to synchronize local font folders.

Other ImprovementsSeveral existing features have been improved. The backup and restore features are accessible through the Tools menu. Numerous new toolbar icons have been added, and several dialogs have been redesigned.
